Venom & Carnage ran towards each other! They collided and started exchanging punches as Carlo & Slade were riding towards San Venganza and the sun had already set.

They rode through the desert until they came to a slow stop when they saw the lake in front of them with bare trees sticking out of it. Then they went through the water & continued riding until they could see San Venganza in the distance.

Slade-''Almost there, Kiddo!''

Carlo nodded and they rode faster!

Meanwhile....
Carnage tossed Venom towards a brick wall, but Venom stopped himself and held onto the wall instead.

Venom-''You're gonna have to do better than that!''

Carnage launched himself at Venom! Venom moved at the last second, causing Carnage to crash through the brick wall! Then Venom pushed the rest of the wall on top of Carnage!

Michelle-''Nice one.''

Venom-''Thanks. But it won't hold him down too long.''

Michelle-''I know. We just need to buy some time until-''

Venom & Michelle heard the sound of Carlo's bike and they heard Banshee as well.

Michelle-''That them?''

Venom looked over and they, along with The Devil, saw Carlo & Slade ride up to the entrance and they rode inside. They had transformed back to normal.

Carlo-''Venom!''

Venom-''What took you so damn long?''

Carlo chuckled.

Carlo-''Is Mick ok?''

Venom-''She's fine. We're both glad to see you and Slade.''

Carlo-''So, what is hap-?''

Then Venom got tackled away by Carnage!

Carlo-''Whoa! Ok, that's what's happening.''

Carlo grabbed his chain as Slade got off of Banshee.

Devil-''It's been a long time, Mr. Carter.''

Slade-''Not long enough, you psycho.''

Devil-''*Chuckles* Oh, stop. You're gonna make me blush.''

Then Venom got thrown into the wall in between where The Devil & Slade were standing facing each other.

Slade-''You good, Venom?''

Venom-''*Spits out a brick* I'm just getting warmed up!''

Slade chuckled. Then Venom launched himself at Carnage and tackled him into the wall as Carlo transformed into Ghost Rider and lit up his chain.

Carlo-''Let's finish this, Mick.''

Carlo ran over to them as Slade grabbed his rope.

Devil-''You'll never defeat Carnage.''

Slade-''Then you're not gonna enjoy this fight, old man.''

Slade & Banshee both transformed!

Carnage shoved Venom away from him as Carlo ran towards them. Then Carnage grabbed Venom and threw him into Carlo! Venom & Carlo collided and crashed into a brick wall!

Venom-''He's really starting to piss me off!''

Venom & Carlo stood up.

Venom-''Uh....''

Michelle-''Oh, damn!''

Venom-''Carlo, your....''

Venom tried not to chuckle.

Venom-''Your jaw is hanging....weird.''

Carlo grabbed his jaw and popped it back into place.

Carlo-''Not the first time that's happened.''

Venom-''Cool.''

Carnage ran and jumped towards them! But then a flamed rope wrapped around Carnage's neck in mid air!

Venom-''Nice once, Slade!''

Slade pulled on the rope, causing Carnage to land on the ground, but he was on his feet. Then Banshee ran and knocked Carnage down to the ground by running over him! Carnage yelled out in pain because Banshee burned him with every step the horse took over him.

But then Carnage went back inside Brodie's body to recover, making Slade remove the rope so he wasn't hurting Brodie.

Michelle-''Is he ok?!''

Venom-''Yes. Carnage is healing him.''

Michelle-''Can I talk to him?''

Venom-''Be careful.''

Venom transformed back into Michelle as Carlo & Slade turned back to normal as well. Then Michelle walked over to Brodie.

Michelle-''Brodie?''

Michelle kneeled down next to Brodie who was laying on the ground with his eyes closed.

Michelle-''Brodie, can you hear me?''

Michelle had tears in her eyes as she took Brodie's hand.

Michelle-''Brodie, please. You have to fight the spell that The Devil has over you. You have a pure soul which means you can overcome any amount of evil.''

Carlo looked at Michelle sadly.

Michelle-''Fight it, Brodie! *crying* Please? Fight it!''

Michelle felt Brodie's hand squeeze hers, making her gasp a little bit.

Michelle-''*Wipes her tears* Brodie?''

Carlo-''What is it, Mick?''

Michelle-''He squeezed my hand.''

Venom-''I think it's working, Mick. You gotta keep talking to him.''

Michelle-''Brodie. Just listen to my voice, ok? Fight it! You can do this! Just keeping fighting and-''

Brodie transformed into Carnage and he grabbed Michelle around her neck!

Carlo-''MICK!''

Michelle transformed into Venom and grabbed Carnage's neck as they both roared at each other!

Then Carlo & Slade transformed again!

San Antonio.
The Crew and Barbed Wire were all in one hotel room just waiting for a call or text from Carlo or Michelle to tell them what's happening in San Venganza. AJ was pacing up and down because he was so worried and Jack was sitting on the bed staring at Styles.

Jack-''AJ, if you keep pacing, you're gonna make a hole in the floor.''

AJ smiled slightly.

AJ-''I know. Sorry, I pace when I'm nervous or worried. I just can't sit down.''

Jack-''I understand.''

AJ nodded and looked at The Crew.

AJ-''You ok, guys?''

Kofi-''Trying to be.''

Xavier-''Even though we all know that they're gonna kick ass....it's hard not to worry.''

Big E-''But we are staying positive.''

AJ-''Ok.''

AJ glanced over at Darby.

AJ-''How's he holding up?''

Jack stood up and stepped next to AJ. Darby was standing on the balcony resting his forearms on the railing as he stared at the city lights.

Jack-''Never good whenever family is in danger. Plus, this time....there's nothing we can do to help, which makes it worse.''

AJ-''I get it, man.''

Then John Morrison walked in with a few pizzas.

Kofi-''So, that's where you ran off to.''

John-''Well, I know we're all too worried to eat. But we gotta eat to keep our strength up.''

Xavier-''You're right.''

Jack-''I'm gonna go check on Darby.''

AJ-''Ok.''

Jack walked out onto the balcony and stood next to Darby.

Darby-''Any word from them yet?''

Jack-''Not yet.''

Darby nodded.

Jack-''Look, brother. I know it's difficult right now, but we have to stay positive that Mick & Brodie are gonna come back to us.''

Darby-''I know I should. *stands up straight* But this isn't like waiting for a loved one to come out of emergency surgery in a hospital. They are literally fighting The Devil and a creature that is not from this planet.''

Jack-''I know this situation is very different from any normal one. But this is Brodie Lee & Michelle Shaw were talking about.''

Darby looked at Jack.

Jack-''They are two of the most stubborn people we've ever come to know. Stubborn in the best way, of course.''

They both chuckled.

Jack-''If any two people can beat The Devil, it's them. Remember the one line from our song "Pure"?''

Darby smiled.

Darby-''I do. "A pure heart is enough to kick the Devil's ass".''

Jack-''Exactly. Mick is always saying how Brodie has the purest heart.''

Darby-''And she has one too.''

Jack-''If you ask me....two pure hearts, along with Venom, Rider, Slade & Banshee....that Devil better haul ass!''

Darby laughed as Jack chuckled.

Darby-''Oh, man. *smiles* You're right, brother. Thanks.''

Jack-''No problem.''

Darby & Jack bumped fists as they smiled.

San Venganza.
Carnage & Venom were fighting again, slamming each other into brick walls and ripping at each other to get each other's hosts out to leave them weakened. Carlo & Slade were dodging Carnage's daggers that were constantly being fired at them while Carnage was fighting Venom.

Carlo-''Uncle Slade!''

Carlo yelled as he was swinging his chain in a circle in front of them to block the daggers.

Slade-''Yeah?!''

Carlo-''When I stop swinging my chain, we'll run off in different directions to help Venom & Mick!''

Slade-''Got it!''

Carlo & Slade whistled! Then Banshee & Carlo's bike came towards them. Slade got on Banshee's back as Carlo stopped swinging his chain and he got on his bike. Carlo & Slade both rode off in different directions and set their chain & rope on fire as they started circling Venom & Carnage!

Carlo-''Let's do it, Uncle Slade!''

Venom reached inside Carnage and managed to grab hold of Brodie's arms!

Venom-''I got him!''

Michelle-''Pull him out!''

But then Carnage reached into Venom and ripped Michelle out of Venom!

Carlo-''MICK!!''

Michelle-''VENOM!!''

Carnage threw Michelle across the place and she hit a brick wall very hard!

Carlo-''MICK!''

Carlo & Slade jumped off their bike & horse. Carlo's motorbike kept circling Carnage along with Banshee as they created a huge wall of fire around Carnage as he held Venom in his hand.

Carlo & Slade landed on their feet next to Michelle. Carlo turned back to normal and he turned her around onto her back.

Carlo-''Mick?!''

Slade-''Is she breathing?''

Carlo checked.

Carlo-''Yes. I think she's unconscious.''

Then The Devil appeared.

Devil-''Looks like I got what I wanted.''

Carlo & Slade looked over at him.

Devil-''I got my symbiotes. Nice doing business with you, gentlemen.''

Carnage jumped straight up out of the circle of fire and landed next to The Devil as Banshee & Carlo's motorbike stopped and the fire disappeared.

Devil-''We'll be seeing you all very soon I hope.''

Carlo stood up and transformed.

Carlo-''You're not going anywhere with Venom!''

Devil smirked as Michelle opened her eyes.

Devil-''Don't worry, we'll take good care of Venom and Brodie.''

Michelle slowly got up as she glared at The Devil. She ran towards Carnage!

Michelle-''VENOM!!''

Carlo-''Mick!''

Michelle reached out her hand to Venom and he grabbed hold of her! She transformed!

Venom-''I'm back, bitch!''

Carnage growled at them.

Michelle-''Let's finish this, buddy!''

Venom-''Mick says let's finish this!''

Carlo-''That's my girl.''

Carlo & Slade whistled and Banshee & Carlo's bike went to them. They got on, rode over and stood on either side of Venom.

Michelle-''Venom, I need to say something to The Devil.''

Venom-''Ok.''

Venom transformed back into Michelle and she glared at The Devil.

Michelle-''You are never giving Brodie back to us, are you?''

Devil-''You catch on quick, Shaw. The symbiosis between Carnage & Brodie is way too perfect to let go.''

Michelle-''You said earlier that once you have every symbiote, you'll be unstoppable. Do you have more than just Carnage?''

Devil-''No, I'm actually searching for the others and I know there are plenty out there. But I need Venom first.''

Michelle-''You're not taking someone I love away from me!''

Devil-''Someone? Venom is not a person, he is a parasite.''

Michelle-''He's not a parasite! He's one of my best friends. And you're not taking him from me!''

Devil-''I guess the symbiosis between you two is very strong considering how long you two have been together. So, I guess it's time for Plan B.''

Venom-''What does he mean by that?''

Michelle-''Something doesn't feel right, buddy.''

Carlo, Slade, Michelle & Venom were confused.

Michelle-''What the hell is Plan B?!''

The Devil raised his cane slightly off the ground and hit the ground with the bottom of the cane, causing the ground to rumble and shake.

Carlo-''Uncle Slade, what's happening?''

Slade-''Not sure, Kiddo.''

Michelle-''What the hell are you- UGH!!''

Michelle suddenly dropped to her knees holding onto her body as she was in a lot of physical pain!

Carlo-''Michelle!''

Carlo got off his bike.

Michelle-''STOP!!''

Carlo paused as Michelle held up her hand towards him. Carlo saw smoke coming from Michelle's body as she screamed in pain!

Carlo-''Oh, no.''

Slade got off of Banshee realising what was happening.

Slade-''Kiddo! When did she-''

Carlo-''She wouldn't!''

Venom-''Mick, what's happening?!''

Michelle-''I.....don't.....know.....Venom!''

Then suddenly a large blast came from Michelle causing Carlo, Slade & Banshee to be pushed back several feet away from her!

Devil-''Perfect.''

Carlo & Slade looked up and saw the smoke and dust clear away as the wind blew it. Michelle slowly stood up straight.

Everyone saw that she transformed into this!
